It takes eight hours to drive from Jinghai to Gangcheng.
When we were halfway there, the sky turned gray and soon it started to rain.
Every autumn rain brings a chill, and even in the car, they can clearly feel the temperature dropping.
The rain was getting heavier. For safety reasons, they discussed it and decided to take the national highway instead, and the speed of the car dropped significantly.
Yun Gaofei looked in the rearview mirror, his face becoming serious. He frowned and said, "Two cars have been following us."
Upon hearing this, Su Mingzhe and Zhou Yi also looked at the rearview mirror. There were indeed two shabby cars behind their car, following them slowly.
"They have been following us since we got off the highway. I just tried to turn around and change the route, but they are still following us." Yun Gaofei's expression became more serious.
"How far are we from Hong Kong City?" Su Mingzhe asked.
"It's about a two-hour drive," said Yun Gaofei.
Zhou Yi kept looking carefully at the vehicle behind him, and his expression gradually became serious.
"It seems like we're being targeted." Su Mingzhe said as he rummaged through his luggage bag.
After a while, he took out a red safety rope from his backpack, handed it to Yun Gaofei in front of him, and said, "Hang this on the outside mirror."
Yun Gaofei looked confused, but did as he was told.
What’s strange is that not long after it was hung up, the vehicles behind it stopped catching up.
"Dad, what does this safety rope mean?" Zhou Yi asked in confusion.
"This section of road is the sphere of influence of a certain city. If unfamiliar vehicles from other cities pass by and are targeted, they will usually face the danger of losing both their vehicles and the people. Many drivers who have been driving on this road for a long time will usually pay a certain amount of money in exchange for safety. After paying the money, they can get a safety rope like this. With the safety rope hung on the car, they can pass through these sections of road safely." Su Mingzhe explained.
"Are there many sections like this?" Yun Gaofei interrupted.
Su Mingzhe didn't want to answer Yun Gaofei's question, but Zhou Yi looked at him eagerly, so he spoke: "Quite a lot, especially in Gangcheng. Li Zhao had dealt with them before, so he gave Li Zhao a batch of safety ropes."
After hearing this, Yun Gaofei's face turned pale and he said angrily, "Too rampant."
Zhou Yi knew that there were indeed many such things in this era, but when he was involved, he couldn't help but feel scared. It was really too rampant, and a severe crackdown was really necessary.
"What's the use of being angry? It depends on whether you have the ability to eliminate them." Su Mingzhe said to Yun Gaofei who was in the main seat.
Yun Gaofei did not respond. He knew that talking was useless and action was the most practical.
There was a moment of silence in the car. After hanging the safety rope, they finally arrived at the port city safely, and their hearts, which had been hanging high, finally settled down.
It was almost dark when they arrived at the port city. When they got out of the car and walked to the guesthouse, they felt a distinct chill.
Yun Gaofei carried his luggage into the guesthouse and completed the accommodation procedures.
Su Mingzhe and Zhou Yi lived in a two-bedroom suite, while Yun Gaofei lived in the guest room next to them.
"Xiaoyi." As soon as the check-in procedures were completed, Long Yan walked in from the door of the guesthouse.
"Brother Long, you're here?" Zhou Yi walked up to say hello.
Long Yan responded with a smile, walked forward to greet Su Mingzhe and Yun Gaofei, and quickly completed the check-in procedures.
They had just arrived and agreed to go to their respective rooms to rest and wash up, and then go to Su Mingzhe and Zhou Yi's suite to have dinner together and chat while eating.
After 7:30 in the evening, Yun Gaofei and Long Yan arrived at Su Mingzhe's suite one after another.
After quickly finishing dinner, Zhou Yi looked at Long Yan and asked, "Brother Long, what's the situation in Gangcheng now?"
"The situation in Gangcheng is quite complicated now. Because the signal of a severe crackdown has been issued, they all want to make a big move and reap the most profits." Long Yan glanced at Zhou Yi and said.
Everyone was drinking tea. Yun Gaofei silently made a cup of scented tea for Zhou Yi and pushed it in front of her.
Zhou Yi naturally picked it up and took a sip, then asked, "Do you have any information about my second uncle and senior brother?"
Long Yan glanced at the interaction between Yun Gaofei and Zhou Yi and replied softly, "I arranged for someone to keep an eye on it yesterday. Before I left today, they called me and said they have a lead. Someone will come and talk to us face to face later."
"Brother Long, thank you so much this time. I'd like to offer you tea instead of wine." Zhou Yi raised his teacup to Long Yan.
"You are Qin Bei's cousin, which means you are my cousin. It's too strange to say that." Long Yan smiled.
Zhou Yi had previously explained his relationship with the Su family to Long Yan on the phone, and Long Yan was surprised for a long time at that time.
He really didn't expect that Zhou Yi was actually Aunt Qin Bei's daughter.
"Xiaoyan, thanks to you this time." Su Mingzhe also spoke.
"Uncle Su, please don't be polite. We are all family." Long Yan said.
Knock knock knock~
At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the suite's door.
Long Yan listened and said, "Speak of the devil, here comes the devil."
Then he stood up and opened the door.
A middle-aged man came in. He looked like the same type of person as Su Mingzhe, elegant and clean, with the aura of a superior.
Longyan introduced the man to everyone. His name was Li Shouzhi, one of the most influential figures in Hong Kong City, who was well connected with both the black and white worlds.
After the introduction, everyone started talking about the specific situation of Gangcheng and where Su Mingfeng was currently.
From Li Shouzhi, Zhou Yi and the others learned that the current situation in Hong Kong City was indeed more chaotic than ever before, and Su Mingfeng's situation was more dangerous than they had imagined.
He came to Gangcheng this time to deal with the public security issues in Gangcheng. He could be said to be a pathfinder, but the public security measures and plans had not yet been finalized. As a result, his position was very awkward.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is like walking alone into a wolf's den.
The person behind the scenes was stirring up trouble, with the gun pointed at Su Mingfeng, looking for an opportunity to kill him.
Other forces in Hong Kong also regarded him as a troublemaker and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
At present, Su Mingfeng and He Zhan have been blocked in an urban village for three days, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
This time, the various criminal forces are unusually united and determined to take them down.
If the Long family had not found Li Shouzhi, Su Mingfeng and He Zhan would have been trapped and died in the village, and no one would have found them.
Forget about rescue, maybe even the body won’t be found in the end.
"Mr. Li, Xiaoyan, my Su family will definitely repay your kindness for this incident in Gangcheng." Su Mingzhe said sincerely.
"Mr. Su, you're welcome. I just provided some information. As for how to rescue her and whether she can succeed, it depends on your ability." Li Shouzhi said calmly.
The implication is that he will not take action.
But for the Su family and Zhou Yi, this information is already a great favor.
